[D 36-40] Dancing Doctor to Dara

A new Beverly Crusher persona... THE ENTRIES: [36] "Dancing Doctor, The" [37] Daneeka [38] Dano, Kal [39] Danula II [40] Dara  NOTES:  [36] A persona of Beverly Crusher. When Bev encounters Ooby Dooby, she decides just how many discards and draws are performed as a result of the dilemma. For example, say you have 3 Youth and 4 Music personnel (including Bev), you could decide you only wanted to discard 2 cards, or draw 1. Source: "Data's Day" [37] I put Danica McKellar on the unnamed officer of ANOTHER of Sisko's ships, the Saratoga. Source: "Emissary" [38] The Tox Uthat so placed would have to be re-acquired. According to Star Trek Online, the pilot of the Earth vessel found by the crew of Enterprise NX-01 in "Future Tense" is Kal Dano, so I gave the performer who wore the corpse make-up the role. Source: Referenced in "Captain's Holiday" [39] A botanist is someone listed as such in the lore. Basically, Keiko O'Brien an...

[D 31-35] Dalvin to Danar

Not to put a damper on things, but just two cards today... THE ENTRIES: [31] Dalvin hissing beatle [32] Damar, Glinn (no card required) [33] dampening field [34] Danar, Gul (no card required) [35] Danar, Roga (no card required) NOTES:  [31] The Beetle may be moved to your opponent's personnel. Source: Referenced in "Parallels" [32] Damar got his first card in The Dominion expansion. [33] You can still report personnel and equipment at a site even if your opponent cannot. Source: "Civil Defense" [34] Exists as Danar, a Cardassian card in the Deep Space Nine expansion. [35] Roga Danar is in the Basic Set as a Non-Aligned personnel. Next up: A new Beverly Crusher persona. Cards: Alexander's Hissing Beetle, Dampening Field

[D 26-30] Dal'Rok to Dalikwakan

In this batch: What was at the time the 1000th AtoZ card! THE ENTRIES: [26] Dal'Rok (no card required) [27] Dal, Joret [28] Dalby, Kenneth [29] Daled IV [30] Daliwakan NOTES:  [26] Exists as a dilemma in the Deep Space Nine expansion. [27] Lower Decks' bonuses are only suspended on the personnel present with him. When infiltrating, he'll disrupt that event on his crew. Source: "Lower Decks" [28] It would be interesting to see what a deck with multiple Dalbys would look like. He can't work with Federation command personnel. Feds yes, Fed commanders, no. OFFICER in gold? I guess I saw him as an Ops guys like Data. Source: "Learning Curve" [29] AtoZ's 1000th dream card!!!! (At the time, so not counting Enhanced nor Broken Links.) I pulled a mission, but made the best of it with a little joke. There's just one way to solve this one. Source: "The Dauphin" [30] As it stands, a [holo] personnel's species is considered to be "holog...

[D 21-25] Dahkur Hills to Dakeen Monastery

I was never happy with their choice of the later Bok, so... THE ENTRIES: [21] Dahkur Hills [22] Dahkur Province [23] DaiMon [24] Dakar, Senegal [25] Dakeen Monastery NOTES:  [21] The trigger must exist first. If it doesn't, the dilemma is discarded. If it does exist, the requirements kick in. Source: "Shakaar" [22] The objective is not cumulative and you cannot probe more than once per turn. Source: "Shakaar" [23] A lot of things going for the Ferengi version of Bok. He's a persona, matching commander to the universal D'Kora, and has a slightly different mix of skills and attributes. I was never happy with Decipher's choice to take the pic from "Bloodlines". Source: "The Battle" [24] Turn Nanites into personnel cards. They become instant damage cards. Does your opponent dare leave their Borg Cube unattended in case you make a pass? They won't damage your own ship unless you want them to. Source: Referenced in "Evolution...

[D 16-20] Dachlyds to Dahar Master

We go back to the Federation's first ships... THE ENTRIES: [16] Dachlyds [17] Daedalus-class starships [18] Daggin [19] DaH! [20] Dahar Master NOTES:  [16] A simple mission to build the Ferengi's mission base. Source: Referenced in TNG's "Captain's Holiday" [17] For museum decks. Source: First referenced in "Power Play", but the lore required an on-card DS9 attribution. [18] Nothing to rave about, but Ocampa do have a number of special powers cards in AtoZ, so here you have a universal personnel to take advantage of them. Source: "Caretaker" [19] You may only draw one Tactic card: refers to the initial draw of cards, not to damage markers. You can initiate battle even during your opponent's turn. Source: "Redemption II" [20] Note that your own Klingons present can stop your opponent's personnel. Non-Klingons still have to listen to the doddering old fool. Source: "Thw Sword of Kahless" Next up: I was never happy ...

[D 11-15] D'Sora to Dabo

Happy Canada Day! Come to Quark's, play a bit of dabo... THE ENTRIES: [11] D'Sora, Lieutenant Jenna (no card required) [12] D'Tan (no card required) [13] da Vinci, Leonardo [14] dabo girl [15] dabo Decipher's version for comparison: Decipher's version for comparison: NOTES:  [11] Exists as Jenna D'Sora, a personnel card in the Basic Set. [12] Exists as a Romulan personnel in the Alternate Universe expansion. [13] Holodeck Adventures gave us Decipher's version (included for comparison). Source: "Concerning Flight" [14] A powerful wall, worse than Matriarchal Society, as well as a good filter. Source: "Blood Oath" [15] Both player may make use of the same Dabo card. The fact that the probe is an AU icon is a joke on the impossibility of winning. ;-) Decipher's version was released in the Rules of Acquisition expansion (included for comparison). Next up: We go back to the Federation's first ships. Cards: Leonardo da Vinci, Dabo Girls...

[D 6-10] D'deridex to D'Kora

Just a couple cards this time around... THE ENTRIES: [6] D'deridex-class warbird (no card required) [7] D'Ghor (no card required) [8] D'jarra [9] d'k tagh (no card required) [10] D'Kora class Decipher's version for comparison: NOTES:  [6] Already exists as a ship from the Basic Set. [7] Already exists as a Klingon personnel in the Deep Space Nine expansion. [8] This card went through a lot of changes, from an Interrupt, to an Event with a countdown icon, to an Objective. It might even have been a dilemma if my Akorem Laan hadn't been able to download it. Akorem Laan is an emissary as is The Emissary himself. The card affects both sides of the table. Source: "Accession" [9] Already exists as an Equipment card in the Blaze of Glory expansion. [10] Just your basic ship for an affiliation that, at the time, needed one. Rules of Acquisition later included it as the D'Kora Marauder (included for comparison). Source: "The Last Outpost" Next ...

[D 1-5] D'akturak to D'blok

Another round of dream cards for the Star Trek Collectible Card Game, resurrected from the late 90s and given graphics for the first time. We turn the Encyclopedia to the letter "D" and the start of an expansion we'll call The Die Is Cast. And no, I don't introduce dice mechanics, haha. THE ENTRIES: [1] d'akturak [2] D'Arsay [3] D'Arsay archive [4] D'Arsay symbols [5] d'blok NOTES:  [1] Something for all the DipHoLes out there. The target personnel must have all three skills. Source: "Blood Oath" [2] I wanted a universal that was worth a lot of points. The problem is that you might lose a lot of your necessary personnel during dilemma resolution and be unable to do the mission again and again. Personnel that report for free at HQs are those listed on such cards (High Council members, Admirals, etc.). The D'Arsay Archive normally only seeds at space missions. Source: "Masks" [3] Turns the ship into some sort of facility. Arti...

Crossfire Virtual Pack

I didn't do this for EVERY letter, but the first few AtoZ "expansions" had working booster packs of 15 cards, sorted like so: 11 commons (of 101 possibilities), 3 uncommons (of 98 possibilities) and 1 rare (of 121 possibilities). Which means that every time you refresh this page, you will get a different distribution of cards! Makes a nice palate cleanse before heading into the Encyclopedia's D's. Note that Enhanced Crossfire would have been 6 special packs with set card lists, and C's Broken Links would have come in a 35-page box, so those cards aren't in the booster.

Broken Links [BL-31-35] Symbiogenesis to U.S.S. Relativity

Our final Broken Links spawned by Crossfire before we jump into the D's... BROKEN LINKS: [31] Symbiogenesis [32] Takka Berries [33] Timestream Intersection [34] Olympia, U.S.S. [35] Relativity, U.S.S. NOTES:  [31] Nullified by Chrysanthemum Solution [C175]. Example for attributes: If one personnel had attributes of 5-7-7 and the other had 8-5-4, the "Tuvix" would have 8-7-7. Any Janeway, anywhere, will prevent you from scoring points. Chrysanthemum Solution can nullify the card even in the points area, so that would split up the personnel later in the game and void those points. Source: "Twovix" [32] Doubled by Cherel Sauce [C138]. Starfleet Academy referenced these in "Ko'Zeine". Source: Referenced in "Innocence" [33] Nullified by Cosimo [C301], which he can do when encountered or by moving to its location later (where he doesn't need the skills). If personnel with the skills required are under the dilemma, they can choose to rescue ...

Broken Links [BL-C26-30] Ricky to Starfleet Fashions

Let's all go to Sandrine's for a game of pool... BROKEN LINKS: [26] Ricky [27] Roy Ritterhouse [28] Sandrine [29] Square [30] Starfleet Fashions NOTES:  [26] Reports to Chez Sandrine program [C143] for free. So basically, she can interact with any Program card as if she were "native" to it, she's a Dixon Hill-related hologram, a Captain Proton-related personnel, etc. Source: "The Cloud" [27] Source: "Far Beyond the Stars" [28] Reports to Chez Sandrine program [C143] for free. Source: "Twisted" [29] Downloaded by Watch It, Clyde! [C+51] Source: "His Way" [30] Nullified by Clean Change of Underwear [C199]. Original era icons include the TOS era icon and the Movie era icon, but the Continuing Committee and dream card designers have added other centuries to cover Enterprise, Discovery, etc., so I didn't want to specify. it doesn't just apply to personnel "in play", so you can use the card to report, say, your W...

Broken Links [BL-C21-25] Porter to Ressik

An important card from "The Inner Light, and some named personnel... BROKEN LINKS: [21] Porter [22] Prolific Production [23] Quentin Swofford [24] Rain Robinson [25] Ressik NOTES:  [21] Native to Chronowerx Time Location [C173]. Gives you more time to attain your goals at that Time Location (if you have captives). Source: "Future's End, Part II" [22] Downloadable by both Catullus [C76] and Onaya [BL-C18]. At the start of your turn, you can only play a single personnel, well, you could play three (but not 2 personnel and an event, for example). Look for other limits to triple. Source: "The Muse" [23] Matching commander of USS Cortéz [C+66]. That ship offers the same bonuses against Dominion ships. I have put actor Ken Swofford in a uniform, given the similar name (this character was never seen on screen). Source: Referenced in "Far Beyond the Stars" [24] Native to Chronowerx Time Location [C173]. "When" is also "If". Source: ...
